    摘要: Described herein is an apparatus for dynamically adjusting a voltage reference level for optimizing an I/O system to achieve a certain performance metric. The apparatus comprises: a voltage reference generator to generate a voltage reference; and a dynamic voltage reference control unit, coupled with the voltage reference generator, to dynamically adjust a level of the voltage reference in response to an event. The apparatus is used to perform the method comprising: generating a voltage reference for an input/output (I/O) system; determining a worst case voltage level of the voltage reference; dynamically adjusting, via a dynamic voltage reference control unit, the voltage reference level based on determining the worst case voltage level; and computing a center of an asymmetrical eye based on the dynamically adjusted voltage reference level.

    摘要: A method includes determining an amount of memory space in a memory device available for memory mirroring. The method further includes presenting the available memory space to an operating system. The method further includes selecting at least a portion of the amount of memory space to be used for memory mirroring with the operating system. The method further includes adding a non-selected portion of the available memory to memory space available to the operating system during operation. An associated system and machine readable medium are also disclosed.

    摘要: A startup program for protecting against corruption of firmware resides in multiple blocks of a firmware device in a processor-based system. While the firmware device typically stores code, the device may additionally store data that is accessible to application programs. The startup program confirms that the block from which it executes is a valid startup block. If the block is not a valid startup block, the startup program searches the other blocks in the firmware device for a valid startup block. Upon identifying a valid startup block, the startup program sets an execution address such that subsequent initialization of the processor-based system occurs from the startup block.
